Diablo 3, Auction House Unavaliable

Blizzard team is just doing an outstanding job of surprising us again and again, first they surprised with server errors, then pings over 300, lately they came up with a great idea to have people wait for 3 days before they can enjoy they digital version of the game and now… the Auction House is down. Apparently even though it is down, the time in AH did not freeze, so yes you may miss on some bidding (info from some players on battle.net forums) .

WTF wrong with this game!... #$!@# DRM

Blizzard is a great developer , Sony could learn a lot from them.

whats wrong with this game? media focusing on the rare occasions that something bad happens. Meanwhile people have obviously been playing long enough to beat it with hardcore characters on inferno mode. I've had a great time co-oping with friends and unlocking whimseyshire.

A lot of people can't play, that's what's wrong.

Those who can are like "Well I can play, nothing is wrong with the game."

But peeps in the U.S., Korea, France and Germany are having problems just playing the game regularly, and since they can't Blizzard is getting a lot of bad press for it and they should.

What's worse is that they were refusing refunds even though there was a player limit for the Asia server, so a whole bunch of Koreans couldn't play the game AT ALL.

Can you imagine paying $60 or more for a game you can't play and the company shrugs their shoulders and says "Well, that's what's it like with always-on."

this site loves to post negative news of blizzard and Wii-U. Those tend to get the hottest degrees. On the other hand, good news about sony exclusives is always posted. You can't deny it

Wait...when was it available?!!

This game is some real BS and I hope this isn't the future for gaming in general. I heard a recent patch came out for this game making it harder to acquire the gear that's more rare in game forcing players to essentially use the Auction House to get it which, if true, is a scam. Players paid 60+ for this game and have to buy gear that's available already in the game? The developer felt the need to make it near impossible to find gear that's needed for the later difficulties so players have to spend more money, PC fanboys are really delusional if they think this is ok, and I know they are out there, I see the comments defending this game all the time. Meanwhile, in reality, it's an online only game that forces players to spend extra money to play, that's pathetic.

So, it goes down for an hour or two and you make it seem like it has been down for a week. Interesting. Blizzard has done a good job with Diablo 3, yes, they have had issues, but everyone makes mistakes, both on hardware and software.

As if Blizzard did not have enough money. I smell Kotick all over this release.

Hey Blizz, LOVE your games but absolutely refuse to buy them if this is how you are going to handle DRM. You have proven that DRM hurts the folks that PAY for the game.

All I know is I played this game for 2 weeks and I never want to play it again, the game has no depth and the only decent act is act 1.

My problem with D3 is that it feels like I'm being forced to play their way. Its like watching a movie, in that I don't have any ownership over the experience.
